<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Everyone,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Here is a "shallow dig" sidewalk
detail that we have been trying out over the last couple years. It
provides a bridge over the dripline and seems to be working well so far.</font>

<br><font size=2 color=#004080 face="Calibri">Is there any latitude to
play with the grading/profile of the sidewalk, in order to accommodate
the roots using a more conventional sidewalk construction approach?</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Kelowna is looking at a new sidewalk installation
next to some mature street trees (red oaks). In the past we have
successfully used rubber sidewalks in these types of situations but in
this case it’s going to be a multi-use corridor and there are concerns
that the rubber surface is not as suitable for roller blades, etc. because
of the seams.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">I have a couple of questions:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">1) Anybody else have
experience with rubber sidewalks in these situations and whether the bumps
are an issue?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">2) Another possible
solution is reinforced concrete bridging over the roots. Does anybody
have specifications for bridged sidewalk construction that they could send
to me?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
